Dear experts!



the are two names i used and apply this formula using a wild card 
=COUNTIF(C20:C21,"*a*") its gives me answer 2 instead of 5 because in 
the given data there are 5 "a" instead of 2.








 


 
  ali a
 
 
  daniyal a
 




so any one could explain me why it is given 2 instead of 5?



does wildcard does not count all "a" or wat is the reason kindly expain me?
